This bill sets new rules for large-scale data centers in Florida. Local governments keep zoning control and must address infrastructure and community impacts. Governments are banned from signing non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) that hide new data center sites from the public; violators can be fined. Data centers using over 100,000 gallons of water daily must submit conservation plans and use reclaimed water when possible. Large power users (50+ megawatts) must pay the full cost of their utilities, and utilities may cut power in emergencies. Utilities are also prohibited from serving data centers connected to certain foreign governments, and big projects must have public hearings.
